There are many top dribblers that are currently plying their trades in the English Premier League (EPL). However, only one of them has reached the milestone of 100 take-ons so far this in this season as per Stathead. Who is this iconic dribbler?
This iconic footballer is Kudus Mohammed. Though the Ghanaian attacker made his EPL debut after match day 3 of this term, he has already completed 100 dribbles in the competition so far. The West Ham star began to show his take-on abilities in game week 6. Though he was in action for just 17 minutes in the match, Kudus was able to complete 1 of his 2 attempted take-ons in the game.

On match day 7, the Ghana international went a couple of steps further as he made 4 successful dribbles against Sheffield United players. When he made his first EPL start, the former Ajax midfielder utilised his dribbling skills successfully 4 times. The 23-year-old star had his best day as a dribbler in the English top flight when the Hammers were hosted by Manchester United last February. He completed 7 out of his attempted take-ons against the Red Devils in the match.
Kudus has been consistent as a dribbler so far in the Premiership. This is because he has not failed to successfully use the skill in any match since he became established as a West Ham player. The 2-time Dutch champion made 5 successful dribbles in the game week 35 clash with Liverpool. Only one player, Ryan Gravenberch made more (7) in the match.
Jeremy Doku
The next best dribbler so far in the competition is Jeremy Doku. He is credited with 78 ahead of Manchester City's clash with Nottingham Forest later today. Coincidentally, this Belgian star has Ghana roots like Kudus.
